Erm, I'm not so sure the ultra-new look with extremely antique works so well side by side. Go to one extreme or the other...

I think they're interesting, conceptually...and they have a nice likeness to the real plants.

Interesting, but classic is classic. Don't mess with it.

I bought one the other day! Here's the good use I found at the moment:

When my cat is finished with it, I'll probably use it to store books next to my desk.

Thanks! I know how you feel with the retro bathroom, and you can definitely make it work...try anything to contrast within the range of violet-gray to bright turquoise accents. Contrasting colors will brighten the space and draw more attention to both colors instead of just the yellow that you're working with.

I LOVE everything about your amazing home!
My only complaint might be that the room w/ black and yellow might have too much of something going on...possibly too much black or too many patterns.
Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi- Yes, my table wobbles too! I guess its just a design flaw, but I still love the details on it. I found mine at an antique store, and refinished it with antique white.

The rain boots are from Shoe-Nami...I've only seen this store in Memphis, but here's the site for the brand name:

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
-The bedding was a splurge...I ordered it off Pottery Barn. I'm pretty sure that print has been discontinued, but here's the link:

I love your blending of old and new. Just for the record, that living room is my all-time favorite on this site.

it might be nice to see the same style chairs, but perhaps with different stains or different fabric colors for the seat cushions. I like looking at pottery barn for inspiration, but then fixing up similar chairs that were purchased elsewhere.
